Measure
Ter in Die (TID)Three Times a Day
Propranolol three times a day: Patients with larger (\>2cm) or multiple (\>1) hemangiomas in this arm will get propranolol in the following regimen: Week 1: 0.5 mg/kg/day divided TID Week 2: 1 mg/kg/day divided TID Week 3: 2 mg/kg/day divided TID. Patients will stay on this dosage until their 3 month follow up visit.
Bis in Die (BID)Twice a Day
Propranolol twice a day: Patients with larger (\>2cm) or multiple (\>1) hemangiomas in this arm will get propranolol in the following regimen: Week 1: 0.5 mg/kg/day divided BID Week 2: 1 mg/kg/day divided BID Week 3: 2 mg/kg/day divided BID. Patients will stay on this dosage until their 3 month follow up visit.
Control
Timolol: Patients with a small (\<2cm) isolated infantile hemangioma are prescribed timolol 0.5% ophthalmic drops, a topical beta-blocker(1 drop BID directly onto the hemangioma).
